I saw something that it only works if the character was in a book that hasn't had a movie adaptation yet. In the Shawshank Redemption, "Red" was originally a white irishman. But because bigots don't read books, it didn't upset anyone when Morgan Freeman played him.
I love that they throw in the “because I’m Irish” in the movie.
